12U Fall Ranking

[Wilson Bats]

Gentleman & Ladies

If anyone is interested the CA. Breeze has the brackets posted for their 12U friendly this weekend, it looks to be very interesting. There will be some very good games played. I know I will be attending at least one day so that I might be able to update the rankings. Everyone have a nice weekend playing or watching softball. The Runnin Rebels tourney looks to be very weak on top teams this weekend most likely come down to Valley Stompers & Grapettes.

Attended the Breeze Friendly today and watched some very good games. Two teams were undefeated today the Cal. Breeze 3-0 and TC Smash 3-0. The Breeze scored many runs and hit the ball very good. The Smash showed good pitching and some timely hitting. The Dirt Dogs failed to win a game, and the results Sorercers were 2-1 losing for the 2nd weekend to the Breeze. I hope the Breeze post the results tomorrow so I will be able to make changes in the standings.

Come on guys.... You can't rank a team based on a friendly. Coaches often use these opportunities to try new things or give other player a chance to play in positions they don't normally play. Odds are you won't see every team with their best foot forward in a friendly. Rankings should be done off of tournaments in my opinion! Unless you are certain all teams playing in the friendly are not trying new things or playing players out of their normal positions.

To help answer Melemommy's question I posted the first 12U rankings to give everyone my thoughts on were teams stand during winter ball. It is very difficult to change the rankings weekly as all the better team have chose to play in different tournaments and friendlies. This weekends friendlies and tourneys had the Breeze friendly with the best teams in numbers while R & R had just a few. While watching the friendly it was preety clear that the teams didn't change their lineups very much when playing the most talented teams. I will post another rankings later this week once I received all the posters comments. Please share your thoughts and please lets keep this as a informative post place not one that is nasty.

Two suggested adds for the top 20 list:

NV Lightning '98 is a top 10 team. They should be in the rankings - even though they're from Reno, they play most of their competitive ball with us NorCal. Got 2nd place in the 20-team Elk Grove tourney a few weeks back.

Paradise Bobcats is worthy of 16-20 ranking. Won a tourney last weekend that included Breeze '99 and beat USA Elite in the championship game.
